Overview

• Friday’s York card is headlined by the Group 1 Nunthorpe, with the Lonsdale Cup and Gimcrack Stakes the key supporting races in pre‑race coverage.
• Arizona Blaze is presented as the Nunthorpe favourite after his Sapphire Stakes win at the Curragh, while two‑year‑old Lady Iman draws attention for her weight allowance and Molecomb success.
• Trawlerman is strongly backed for the Lonsdale Cup, with talkSPORT BET offering a Super Boost to 13/8 from 5/6 and William Buick booked for John & Thady Gosden’s Godolphin stayer.
• Do Or Do Not is widely tipped and trading short for the Gimcrack after consistent Group‑level placings, with first‑time cheekpieces noted by tipsters.
• Big Leader is a popular pick for the Sky Bet Mile Handicap, and bookmakers promote new‑customer offers including Paddy Power (£5 get £30), Sky Bet (£10 get £50) and Monster (£10 get £30).
